Modell’s Sporting Goods is NYC’s longest running family owned sports gear retailer.
Most new sneakerheads don’t know that Modell’s sells Air Jordans first releases just like FootLocker, FootAction and House Of Hoops.
Most sneakerheads don’t know that unlike the larger chains Modell’s will put shoes on clearance which have been in their stockroom for a long time.
I’m not like most sneakerheads, but y’all knew that already.
Chocolate Snowflake took me to catch a flick about Black surfers called ‘White Wash‘. As you might imagine the whole surfboard shit is some Black bullshit. Turns out Africans have been on some wave riding shit for a basically forever. It’s how the Africans got to Australia and subsequently how the Australians found themselves in the Pacific Islands.
Sure, Africans did everything first, but how the movie transported the sport or even the recreation of surfing to modern times was fascinating. Blacks always have a hard time doing shit because white doesn’t trust them. Would you? Eventually this white shit is gonna have to wind itself down and that includes watersports [ll] and conversely boardsports.
Snowboarding, skateboarding and surfboarding will all get taken over by Blacks as soon as Blacks get access to the mountainside, the halfpipe and the beach. Just look at Sal Masakela. That dude went and skipped the line and is even hosting shows and submitting commentary on boardsporting events. The idea I left the movie with is that eventually everything will belong to white so just have fun with it while you can.
The Timberland #68012 World Hiker were handcrafted in Montebelluna, Italy. Timberland set the bar at an almost unreachable level with these boots.
If Timberland doesn’t retro these shoes I won’t ever get to sport my OG pair. Let’s form a petition to ask Timberland to retro the World Hiker.
Who’s with me?
Who would put on Mount Rapmore?
I just wanted to revisit this Smif-n-Wessun x Pete Rock joint since it’s one of those rap songs you can use to put on your daily armor before you deal with the world.
Have a good week Internets and just keep in mind that once you’ve defeated Monday they can’t throw another one at you until next week.
Smif-N-Wessun x Pete Rock – ‘Monumental’
Man, it’s been forever since I ran this feature over here but I spotted this video on YouTube and I was reminded of the subtle, sexual musical genius of Marvin Gaye. A lot of y’all were conceived to this man’s soundtrack.
Salute the lifebringing power of music. Listen to those drums and that voice and respect the elements of earth, wind, water and fire contained therein. Have a sexy weekend Internets.
